The SAMS choirs have now been watched by people all over the world on YouTube. Today we received greetings and a video response from the Los Altos High School Main Street Singers with their own Christmas performance of "Masters in this Hall." Isn't it great to be able to share with other people around the globe via the web?

On December 20 we said goodbye to our good friend Henry. We wish him all the best in London and beyond! We won't forget you, Henry. Thanks for being a great member of the SAMS community while you were with us.

This short clip is an example of the 'early work' of one of our SAMS 8th Grade students, Howard. He's been experimenting with CGI (computer generated imaging) and stop-motion FX. Way to go, Howard - we love your work!

This week SAMScast was recognized by members of the international educational podcasting community. This Wikispaces page on Podcasting features SAMScast along with podcasts from the Niles Township HS District and The International School of Dhaka, Bangladesh in their "What does Podcasting look like?" selection. SAMScast received a "Wow!" rating from the creators of the site. Thanks for the recognition of a group effort from SAMS.

The episode features footage that was lost on digital video tape, then reconstructed into a show in 2003. Since then "The Lost Footage" has been, well, lost again! Yet another dusty artifact from the SAMS media archives.

The 6th Grade overnighter is a time-honored tradition at SAMS. Experience moments at the SAMS overnighter over the past 4 years in this presentation. Students near the start of this featurette are now in high school! ;-)

SAMScast is coming soon! It will be the first completely downloadable digital show presented by SAMS, and it will be produced by the students and staff of our school. In preparation for the first series of SAMScast, we've started preparing a series of jingles and program beds. Listen to the "Rock mix" of the first SAMScast jingle right now!
